House sits wanted for 2024, from about 17 June onwards (currently booked until then): urban, acreage or farm. We are currently looking for house sits in SE Qld particularly in the Sunshine Coast and its hinterland but also in Toowoomba area.
We have become valued and much sought after house sitters. Over the 2 years or so we have completed over 20 house or farm/acreage sits, in duration of anywhere between 1 week and 4 months, mainly throughout the Sunshine Coast region, Toowoomba region and Northern NSW.
Please see over 10 reviews generated from this house sit site. With each one we achieved the highest ratings of 5 stars. These sits involved looking after horses, dogs and cats, chooks as well as mowing, includng driving zero turn mowers and keeping places clean, tidy and in good order. We have a further 10 references from elsewhere, some of which are attached.
Kim is a practicing Naturopath (mainly tele-health/on line), health lecturer and author with 30 years experience. Website available on request. Kim has also become well practiced at looking after a variety of pets and animals. Nick was a farmer for many years, prior to a city based professional career and his experience includes caring of horses, cattle, sheep and dogs (and cats). His "2nd career" centered on trade development, assisting agribusiness exporters amongst other professional roles.
Nick and Kim are both animal lovers particularly dog lovers who take our responsibilities seriously in relation to other people's animals and property. We are non smokers, fit and healthy.
We both believe in caring for animals in a gentle and quiet manner and we have been able to establish good relationships with all the animals we have looked after; and their owners!
Background: Throughout 2020 and 2021 we travelled Australia (since sold our van) and prior to that we were living in Maclean NSW and for many years, Brisbane. Since then we have been housesitting or caretaking full time.
We would prefer a Queen size bed (find a double is not big enough for 2) or if not then 2 seperate beds of any sizes is fine.
Sincerely
Nick and Kim
Kim and Nick were a delight to have as housesitters. From the time that we first met them and until we arrived home, we felt at ease. When we arrived home the house was sparkling clean and the lawns and gardens were in perfect condition. We hope that they are available next time we require a house sitter. Would recommend them to family and friends.
Nick and Kim made being absent from our home and dogs so much easier. They bonded with our dogs and cared for them like their own (as our neighbours have all told us) which is pleasing.
Our home was immaculate when we returned, even the BBQ got a spring clean!
We had regular updates on our dogs which we loved.
They had some home renovations still in progress that weren't planned (delayed outdoor project) and just accepted that despite the house not being 100% as they initially inspected.

Nick and Kim were exceptional house sitters. Their communication from the initial contact through to post sit was regular and reassuring. Charlie, Jazz, Milo and Rosie were very well cared for, our horses even ridden! We felt we could have a restful holiday as our home and animals were in very competent and caring hands. On return, our house was in perfect order and better than we left! We couldn't have asked for better sitters. Many thanks Nick and Kim
A huge Thankyou to Nick and Kim for a job well done!! We enjoyed meeting this lovely couple and would highly recommend them as housesitters. Our animals were all in perfect condition when we arrived home and the house and yard, immaculate. Communication was very good and we would left home feeling comfortable that we had chosen well. We hope to see you again sometime.
Nick and his wife Kim house sat for us while we were away on holidays. They were fabulous from the get go.
The phone calls, FaceTime, messages were all very responsive and informative.
They looked after the house amazingly, we left them with 4 dogs and all went well.
If you’re looking for a couple who are trustworthy and reliable you’ll be lucky if your dates fit in with theirs as you won’t find better people to look after your home and animals.
Kim & Nick were brilliant. Having never used a house/farm sitter before it was daunting to consider, but from our first meeting they truly put our mind at ease. They were meticulous with instructions. All animals were extremely well cared for, far beyond expectations. We received photo updates of our furbabies, horses were groomed, which was greatly appreciated but not required. Water troughs were freshly scrubbed. Lawns and gardens were beautiful, better than expected given an unusually dry ... MORE
Kim and Nick are the perfect housesitters! We knew we could trust them the minute we met them before housesitting and our first impression of respectful and intelligent people was with no doubt confirmed.
Our house and yard were immaculate when we came back, our dog was clearly very happy and relaxed. The communication with Kim and Nick was always friendly and efficient. We highly recommend them and would be extremely happy if they housesat for us again.
This was our first time using a house sitter. The experience was better than I had imagined. Kim and Nick were extremely friendly and available to meet prior, to allow us to get to know each other and learn about our house sitting requirements and dog. They asked lots of questions to make sure everything went smoothly which gave me peace of mind. They sent regular updates about our dog and how the house was doing. On arrival home our house/pool/yard was spotlessly clean, lawn was mowed, bins ... MORE
Kim and Nick are the most amazing house sitters I could have imagined.
During their stay from May to Sept 22, they went above and beyond: Apart from completing all the usual housesitting chores, they absolutely loved my animals and efficiently mastered a number of smaller and larger challenges along the way, including a roof leak. The house & garden were spotless when I returned.
Nick and Kim are dedicated animal lovers with lots of experience. I found a much better behaved, well trained ... MORE
5 stars all round for Nick and Kim.
Nick and Kim house sat our property for 2 weeks with no issues. The animals were well looked after and spoilt with love, the house was immaculate on our return, even our lawns were neat and tidy!
I couldn't have asked for better house sitters and would invite them back in heart beat.
After struggling to find a house sitter for this period, we were so happy when Nick and Kim contacted us to let us know they were back in the area and able to undertake this house sit. We jumped at their offer, as their care of our pets, house and garden were exemplary in 2020. As per last time, we were thrilled at how well Nick and Kim cared for our pets. They completely spoilt them and the care they provided for both our dogs and chickens was above what was expected. The house was spotless, ... MORE
We were lucky enough to have Nick and Kim come and house sit for a week. Usually it is a huge task organising house sitters, and in the past we end up sending our horses to specialised agistment because I've never really trusted anybody with them. When we met Nick and Kim, our minds were put at ease-they are both very capable of looking after our horses, chickens and dogs! We came home to an immaculate house, and very healthy and happy animals. They provided photos and even did some extra yard ... MORE
With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
